Is the 3 rubbers insider the inner pan breaks easily? I am wondering if the heat will damage it easily.

I have been using it for about 3 months only and cleaned it 2 times. I hane not seen any sign of damage in it. Looks like it is will last for some time

I've had mine for a while now and have had no problems with the seals or the pan. I've cooked everything from plain rice to chill. The chill I would leave on warm for most of the night.

I threw mine away. Very unsafe. The nonstick surface is anything but, and the coil is exposed on the bottom of the pan which can cause serious burns. Send it back.

I only use silicone or nylon cooking utensils. This cookware is extremely durable. I've had mine for quite a while now and not a scratch so far. I bought 3 rubber sink liners at a dollar store and use them as pan protectors between the 3 frying pans I have since they're used every day and I keep them stacked on my stove top. These pans are really great for cooking anything you want. Treat them good and they will cook your food without the chemicals that are in the usual non stick pans. I wrote reviews about these pans you might want to read too. Hope this helps.

I haven't had the pan for over a year yet so unfortunately I can't answer you on that. I have had it for 2 months and so far it has been extremely durable. I use the Ozeri pan cover that came with it anytime I store the pan away so it won't get scratched easily.

Most definitely, it gets hot. Before the egg is even done, you don't dare touch the handle. I have to use an oven mitt. That is my only complaint. It should have a rubber or plastic coated handle. The handle, about 1/8" in diameter, is connected right to the pan, and the heat very quickly conducts to the handle.

I would say that yours is flawed. I have been so happy with mine that I'd be surprised if you were treated less than graciously by the seller. The total non-stickedness of this pan is part of what makes it great. Get a good one.

I'm sorry. I bought it as a gift for my daughter, so it isn't here with me. I did use it at her apartment, and I can say it's big (so it can get heavy, but the two handles makes it easy to lift), and it works well. You don't need dangerous non-stick coatings - the tri-ply was great even for pancakes. (Follow the directions for heating.)

Yes. I love this pan. I've only had a few months but it's holding up just fine.

Yes.I was not sure I had used that temp before so I tested it with nothing in it for 8 minutes at 450 degrees and there was no buckling and no damage to the pan

No. That is the best part. It does the same thing internally so no carrousel to break, replace or wash. It still heats the food very evenly.

I have used mine numerous times and have yet to have an issue with it. I am in love with these pans!

I can only speak to my own experience, but the inside of my skillet was a little rougher than, say, the Lodge LPGI3 Pro Grid Cast Iron Grill/Griddle. However, it still wasn't THAT rough. Just season it and use it a few times, and I would think this would no longer be an issue to complain about. It's a great skillet.

I would not recommend trying to use it without the pan. I would question whether the exterior shell could stand the direct heat.

No, the pan does not get too hot to handle. I use mine on an almost daily basis and am perfectly happy with it! I hope you enjoy using your pan.

I have seen All Clad pans in 700 degrees for 30 minutes and then thrown into ice water. No problemo! Do not worry about heat with either a All Clad Tri-Ply or a Calphalon Tri-Ply. High end products can with stand about anything that is why they have life time warranties. If you but quality pans they will last a lifetime and then some.

The handles are like a toughened plastic found on saucepan handles. The handles havnt got hot for me, but my typical usage hase been on a gas ring with lower heat(thats why I bought it in the first place - fast cooking with little heat). From a durability standpoint the only"soft" part is the flexible seal that runs inside the rim.

For those who are having trouble with the rubber gasket coming loose, have you taken it off previously? I've had mine for a year or so, with no problems, other than peanut butter getting under the gasket a bit. Not sure if I should take it off, so I have been cleaning it with the gasket intact.
